The sum of two numbers is 20 and their difference is 4. Which is the greater of the two numbers? The answer is 12.
Answer: He can raise up to 40 goats and 100 llamas.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to write system of equations with the information given:
The space each goat needs (4) multiplied by the number of goats (x); plus The space each llama needs (10) multiplied by the number of llamas must be less or equal to the acre land available (800)
4x +10y ≤ 800 (acres)
The amount of veterinary care (in $) each goat needs (110) multiplied by the number of goats (x); plus The amount of veterinary care each llama needs (88) multiplied by the number of llamas (y)must be less or equal to the Rancher's budget.(14520)
110x +88y ≤ 14,520 (cost)
Multiplying the first equation by 27.5, and subtracting the second equation to the first one:
110x + 275y ≤22,000
-
110x +88y ≤ 14,520
____________
187y ≤ 7480
y ≤ 7480/187
y ≤ 40
Replacing y in the first equation
4x +10(40) ≤ 800
4x +400 ≤ 800
4x ≤ 800-400
4x ≤ 400
x ≤ 400/4
x ≤ 100
